I stopped by Ta Canijo (slang for "Difficult Situation" according to their website) in the truck stop in Sauk Village on 394 on the way back from O'Hare to grab a huge burrito to bring back to share with my son.

This is the place I spotted the other day when I stopped in to get a fountain drink and a pizza slice.

This must be a ticket day in Indiana. I saw police out in force in Merrillville and Valparaiso today.

Here's a new Indiana State Police Mustang in Merrillville at a traffic stop.

Head out to the highway for adventure and a huge traffic jam. A view of I-94 in Gary looking westbound showing heavy traffic heading to Chicago.

Time to buy some staples in case the snowpocalypse comes over night.

This lone, absurdly low basketball hoop -- on a very sparsely populated street on Gary's outskirts -- makes me happy and sad at the same time #photography #nwindiana
